This week on “Running on Empty,” Jada Montemarano heads to Barton G. to see if their extravagant Thanksgiving dinner is worth the drive.

Barton G. is known for their over-the-top dining experience. They serve dishes on mousetraps, in popcorn machines, and even toasters. Executive Chef Attila Bollok says they wanted to create shock and awe for Thanksgiving as well.

The family style meal is served in a singing bird cage offering all the typical favorites from turkey, to stuffing, to vegetables, and gravy.

“We are looking for people to get that feeling of being a kid again,” says Chef Attila.

Going out to eat on Thanksgiving is actually becoming more popular. According to the National Restaurant Association in 2017, one in 10 adults planned to eat at a restaurant on the holiday.

Chef Attila says between cooking, cleaning, and doing dishes, Thanksgiving becomes a lot of work, so let Barton G. do it for you.

“We are going to do things a little bit different from your typical Thanksgiving Day dinner. But certainly, we will use those wholesome family-orientated flavors that you know and love but with a little twist,” says Attila.

Barton G. is serving dinner from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. and reservations are required.
